SEATTLE, February 17, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — An explosion-proof distance
laser meter from CorDEX Instruments, the LaserMETER 3000XP, is the first
distance laser meter to achieve certification from CSA International, a
leading product testing and certification organization, for use in Class I
Division 1 B, C and D hazardous (explosive) areas. It adds to the meter’s
existing certifications, ATEX and IECEx Zone 1 IIC T4.

Laser distance meters are vital tools for plant and equipment
maintenance, HVAC and safety professionals. The LaserMETER 3000XP is designed
to deliver time-saving efficiencies and added safety to personnel working on
high-risk rigs and installations who currently have to obtain special “hot
work permits” to use standard electronic measuring devices.

“Those working in hazardous environments can’t make a mistake. They
require tools that are up to the challenge,” said CorDEX Instruments General
Manager
Marcus Halliday. “You can’t take an ordinary tool and jerry rig it to
be adequate for these conditions. The CorDEX mission is to create products
designed specifically to help work crews operate safely and efficiently in
difficult environments. Watch for more CSA-tested equipment designed
specifically for these environments as 2011 progresses.”

and volume calculations, making it the perfect tool for engineers, safety
managers and professional inspectors working in potentially dangerous
environments in oil, gas, petrochemical and related sectors.
